Honkai Impact: Grandma Pine Sparrow is still chasing me!

Chapter 160 Happy New Year

Faced with their persistent questioning, Qiong was at a loss. Now, no matter what questions they asked him, he would just remain silent: because it was better not to speak now, the more he spoke, the greater the probability of saying the wrong thing.

As the ancients said, silence is golden and wisdom is silver; he would rather have gold than silver.

After Sora firmly rejected Kiana's suggestion to do another simulation training session, the atmosphere in the training room became awkward and tense. Actually, there was nothing wrong with it, but everyone's constant questioning of Hotaru and Raiden Mei's ambiguous expressions made Sora quite uncomfortable… Explaining wouldn't make things clear, so the only option was to let it cool down!

"Alright, alright, if Qiong doesn't want to talk about it, then forget it."

In the end, it was Raiden Mei who came to Sora's rescue. Hearing Mei's understanding words, Sora gave her a grateful look, then turned to leave the training room.

"and many more!"

Kiana, however, was unwilling to let him go so easily; this was a golden opportunity! So she took a step forward and blocked Sora's path.

"Hey, Gray Hair, who exactly is that Firefly?"

Kiana stared intently at Sora, her eyes filled with excitement.

Qiong sighed, "Is this never going to end?"

"I have the right to remain silent."

Before Kiana could make any further move, Sora bypassed her and fled the training room. Anyone with eyes could see that Sora was hiding something. Although Mei didn't say she believed Sora, her already somewhat gloomy expression worsened.

"Bronya, let's go out too."

"Mei, aren't you worried that Gray will cheat on you? If he has nothing to hide, why would he run away?"

"Idiot Kiana, shut up!"

Mei was in a bad mood, and Bronya, her best friend, could understand. She had intended to defeat the supposedly simulated "love rival," but ended up being defeated by the "love rival" herself. When asked about the girl, Sora either evaded the question or remained completely silent. Even Bronya, let alone Mei, would have suspected something was wrong with Sora if she didn't know he was busy and hadn't guessed he was from the future!

How could Mei not be suspicious?

Bronya followed Raiden Mei out of the training room, leaving only Kiana, who wanted to fight Sam again, and Theresa, who suspected that Sora had lost her mind.

"Auntie, I still want to fight that guy!"

Theresa crossed her arms to indicate her refusal.

"No way. The data is recorded, but can you even survive ten seconds up there?"

"I'm sure I can last longer than last time."

Theresa shook her head and turned off the power in the training room.

"Instead of thinking about getting beaten up, you should improve your own strength first."

Getting stronger? Kiana originally wanted to find Siegfried by becoming an A-rank Valkyrie, but now she no longer has that need... But getting stronger is a good thing, right? Like taking Mei back from Sora!

"Auntie, please teach me how to become stronger."

Theresa looked her up and down. Was she provoked? But wanting to become stronger is a good thing.

"This is not an easy task; you'll have to be able to endure hardship."

Kiana patted her chest to show her determination.

"I'm not afraid of hardship!"

What's a little hardship compared to defeating Sora and getting Mei back?

Theresa nodded. It's a good thing that her niece wants to become stronger!

"From today onwards, double the amount of physical training every day, and also strengthen the practice of controlling Honkai energy."

Kiana's face fell instantly upon hearing this. Don't get me wrong, it wasn't that she was afraid of hardship, it's just that getting stronger through training was too slow.

"Auntie, is there a quick way to become stronger?"

----------------

Sora had wandered off somewhere; Mei and Bronya didn't see her.

With Sora not around, Mei was able to confide in Bronya. Biting her lip, she mustered her courage and asked Bronya the question she feared most.

"Bronya, do you think Sora... has someone else?"

Bronya quickly shook her head. How could she be having such wild thoughts? It must be a future secret that can't be told. Qiong's troubled expression doesn't seem like she's been caught cheating, does it?

"Sister Mei, how could that be? You have to believe Brother Qiong."

It seems that Sora and Mei's relationship isn't as stable as they thought. Speaking of which, will there really be a beautiful girl piloting a mecha stealing Raiden Mei's boyfriend in the future?

Surely not?

"Then tell me, why does he always keep things from us?"

Mei's persistent questioning left Bronya somewhat exasperated. What was going on? Had her romantic intelligence dropped to the point where she couldn't analyze things herself anymore?

Bronya held up three fingers.

"First of all, he has partial amnesia, right? It's reasonable that we can't be sure if he has amnesia. Secondly, Mei-nee, maybe Sora-nii just doesn't want us to worry about some things. Most importantly, Sora-nii said he's never had a girlfriend. Bronya doesn't think that guy, who's not much smarter than that idiot Kiana, can fool a lie detector."

A flicker of doubt crossed Mei's eyes, but she still harbored suspicions. Perhaps she was just being too paranoid?

"By the way, Mei-neechan, Bronya has a great way to strengthen your relationship, do you want to try it?"

--------------

At night, Qiong lay in her bed, unable to fall asleep.

Looking back now, what exactly did Liu Ying mean to him?

Just as Kafka may not have much patience, but she will never be stingy with Star Core Essence, Sam, who is good at creating purgatory, will only save his best and gentlest side for the Trailblazers...

For the Trail Blazers, Firefly is, in a sense, Otto's role in Kallen's.

The problem is that he's a captain and not very loyal to any one thing.

The Destroyer Pioneer shares the same fate as the Firefly, the Protector Pioneer shares the same attributes as the Firefly, and the Harmonious Pioneer is a perfect match for the Firefly. No matter how you look at it, the Pioneer is always by the Firefly's side...

What about the fate of those memories? A question suddenly arose in Qiong's mind.

What is memory? I don't know.

In a daze, Qiong fell asleep.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

"Distinguished guests..."

Who am I? Where am I?

Qiong looked around. She seemed to be in the main hall, and sitting below the stage were... Himeko, Uncle Yang? And Theresa and Baiji?

"We are gathered here today to congratulate this newlywed couple!"

As Qiong listened to that annoying voice, which sounded like Otto, she realized that Qiong was definitely referring to the bishop—Otto Apocalypse.

But should Otto have worn a white tuxedo and a black jacket?

"Mr. Sora, are you willing to marry Ms. Raiden Mei, who is beside you, as your wife? To love, cherish, and protect her forever?"

"what?"

Only then did Sora realize that she was wearing... a wedding dress?! And wasn't that Aunt Mei from the previous life?

"Ahem, are you willing?"

So, you, Old Tor, are a bishop acting as a priest and emcee?

Qiong nodded, looking bewildered. Otto then looked in the other direction.

"Alright, may our bride, Ms. Raiden Mei, take Mr. Sora to be your husband, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, until death do you part?"

"I am willing!"

Unlike Qiong, who was clueless and didn't react, Raiden Mei's voice was unusually firm.

"So, would everyone like to give their blessings to these two?"

"willing!"

Everyone attending the wedding burst into a loud voice. Among them were the Valkyrie of Destiny who appeared out of nowhere, Dan Heng from the Star Train, the two doctors from Anti-Entropy, Dr. Red and Dr. Blue, and Sunday from Pinocchio.

In short, they are all relatives and friends.

Wait, why is Brother Zhou Tian part of the family and friends group?

"Alright! Let's all give a round of applause to our couple—"

"No! I don't agree!"

Everyone looked toward the source of the opposition—the front door? The door was kicked open, and Kiana, along with several other people, stormed in.

"Kiana, what are you doing?"

"What are they doing here?"

Qiong vaguely recalled that these people had refused the invitation without hesitation, and then suddenly appeared, dressed even more like brides than Mei...

Among them were the sparrow and several other Martians...

"Kiana? And who is this...?"

"I'm your Sparrow Sister! She's Ser, have you forgotten?!"

With a loud crash, the wall collapsed.

"What's wrong now?"

March 7, wielding two swords, also appeared in the wedding hall, followed by the secondary Silverwing Bronya and two Seeles...

Only now did Qiong realize that March 7th and Bronya were not in the audience.

"March, what's going on?"

"I'm sorry, Mei-neechan, Bro—I can't lie to myself, I just like him!"

"Qiong is mine! Qiong, let's go on a trip between the stars, okay?"

"I……"

"No! Ah Qiong, Ah Qiong is mine, he can only be mine, and only I can stand by his side!"

A hole was blasted in the ceiling, and a Sam mech fell from the sky.

"Everyone, leave if you don't want to die!"

Sam wildly brandished flames at the surrounding guests, forcing them to scatter and flee.

"Fireflies!!!"

Qiong felt something was missing. Oh right, the Star Core Hunters are also a group of friends and family. Where are they?

Before Raiden Mei could unleash her furious electric attack, Sora was hugged from behind.

"Song, Teacher Songque?"

Matsuzuki, who had appeared behind Sora at some point, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the ring that Sora hadn't yet put on Raiden Mei's finger. If it had been any later...

"Auntie Jue, Donigor, help me! We can't let him escape from our grasp!"

"What is all this nonsense?!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

"Wow!"

Qiong opened her eyes in fright. Oh, it was a dream...

Honestly, why would I have such a nightmare... Wait, is my blanket really that heavy? It shouldn't be like this.

"What is this... Mei, Mei, what are you doing on my bed?!"

happy New Year!
